I’ve answered a similar Question. AFAIK, you have to solve it with jQuery.
var reference = $('#my-draft-posts').parent().parent();
// add highlighting to our custom submenu
reference.addClass('current');
//remove higlighting from the default menu
reference.parent().find('li:first').removeClass('current');
And the trick is to add an ID in your custom menus, so you can reference
them.
add_submenu_page(
'edit.php',
'Drafts',
'<span id="my-draft-posts">Drafts</span>', // <---- HERE
'edit_pages',
'edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post'
);
Much probably, you’ll need more jQuery than this sample.
